What Wood You Say?

While readers had plenty of thoughts about what a Woodworker’s Journal T-shirt would say, it seems you didn’t have much to say about the rest of last issue’s eZine. One reader did have a thought about the lighting element of a discussion about building a shop from the Q&A section. – Editor

“I am surprised that you advised the letter writer to use fluorescent lighting without the proviso of adding sufficient incandescent lights to avoid the strobe effect of the fluorescents. I have seen a table saw blade appear to be stopped. Believe me, I added incandescent lights to the mix.” – John Beveridge

Amazing Wooden Bikes

And a couple more comments came in on the Ken Wheeler and his Renovo Bicycles featured in the Today’s Woodworker department, one with a link to another story about a wooden bike. -Editor

“Just a note to say I like Today’s Woodworker Renovo Bicycles with his wooden bicycles. Truly amazing.” – Les Bauer

“Interesting article on wooden bikes. Back in the early days of 1900, Koratuso Yamaha met a fellow who had made a wooden bike whose name was Kawai. Yamaha hired him to build his first piano figuring anyone smart enough to build a successful bike of wood could design and build a piano. To read the entire story, go my website (http://www.grebepiano.com) and click on Articles and Historic Documents.” – James Grebe

T-shirt Talk

Beyond that, here are some of the many entries in the Woodworker’s Journal T-shirt slogan contest (check Rob’s editorial for the winners). We’ll start out with some that went the list route. – Editor

“I’m loving the eZine – what a great way to catch up and keep current. The magazine is great as well, but I like the ability to sit down and get a woodworking fix at the computer on a regular basis. Thanks for what you do.” – Jim Werpy
